DAHUAS 



1 Doz. or more — Less 15% 



Dahlias do well in almost any kind of soil, but thrive best 

 in a medium loam. The tubers should be planted in a hori- 

 zontal position, with the sprout up and about four inches 

 below the surface; they should be set three or four feet 

 apart each way, in deeply spaded soil. Mulch with peat moss 

 and allow only one shoot to stand. A good plant food ap- 

 plied just as the buds start to form will increase the size 

 and improve the color of the blooms. If large exhibition 

 blossoms are desired, it is absolutely necessary to disbud. 

 After the frost has killed the flowers, the roots should be 

 removed from the ground, allowed to dry for two or three 

 days, and then stored away in peat moss in a cool, dry, dark 

 place, where frost will not reach them.
